Color Comfort / Emotional Eating
Overeating in response to a particular emotion such as sadness, boredom, stress. A common issue.
Binge Eating
Overeating in response to a particular emotion but associated with a strong feeling of being out of control and linked with feelings of secrecy, guilt and shame. Large amounts of food eaten in a very short time. Some times a strong psychological therapy can help you with the mind reset and integration for a deep change. Possibly a mind reset psychedelic retreat in Mexico can be an option in selected cases.
Mindful Eating
Paying attention to all the sensations of eating;
- The smell, color, taste, texture etc.
- Feelings of hunger and satisfaction.
- When the mind is drawn away, such as to the television after a few bites.
Pay attention to the mind without judgement or criticism. Mindfulness and meditation can support with disordered eating habits and facilitate nutritional intake that will leave you feeling good in your body and mind. Join a yoga retreat in Mexico to help you further enhance your mindfulness towards your lifestyle. When choosing a healthy holiday that can reset your gut on a detox you may be doing yourself a double favor, not only of enjoying a nice travel experience, but also meeting other people with like-minded healthy interests and sometimes feeling like family on a journey together to become the best version of yourself. The practice of yoga creates an awareness of your body that we don’t usually have in our daily lives, hence this awareness is reflected towards our other activities in life, from driving our car more mindful and preventing an accident, to healthier more mindful eating and preventing health accidents such as high cholesterol, diabetes, or overweight. Some times it is hard to just get yourself back on track out of the blue, and it can be of tremendous help to join a health coaching program, find a coach that adapts to your needs and who you can connect with and like to some extent, so that it is a pleasant experience to follow up on recovering your health, and of course if you have the chance to go on a detox retreat, do it!
